The Last Lighthouse Keeper

Genre: Literary / Historical Fiction
Description: On a wind-scarred island off the northern coast, the last lighthouse keeper tends a fading beacon—and a life built on solitude. After a violent storm, a sealed journal washes onto the rocks beneath the tower. Inside are entries from decades earlier describing coded light signals, missing ships, and a forbidden love concealed beneath wartime silence.
As the keeper reads, the island’s quiet begins to fracture: villagers grow uneasy, old names resurface, and the sea itself seems to guard a secret. Drawn into a mystery that defies official history, he must confront the cost of truth—and decide whether to protect the legacy of the dead or illuminate what was meant to stay buried.
